Easy Street Records is basically music heaven. The staff has always been very polite and eager to help me find whatever I'm looking for. You can find pretty much any album under the sun - if its out of stock, they'll order it for you. A couple times I've popped in to find what I wanted out of stock, so they gave me a discount voucher to use next time I dropped by to pick my album up. The atmosphere also adds to the whole experience - great store layout, design, background music, Queen Anne location, etc. Don't miss the awesome in-store performances too - Minus the Bear, Kaiser Cheifs, Tegan & Sara, NFG, etc - they have quite a few per year!

Pros: Selection, Atmosphere, Friendly and Helpful Staff, In-Store Concerts

Cons: Can't think of any!

Easy Street was my music store. 10 minutes ago I left the store for the last time. I spent over an hour waiting for one of the three employees on shift tonight to review the music I wanted to exchange. Finally, I asked how much longer it would be. Another 15 or 20 minutes was the response. There were two other customers there and the girl behind the counter was trying to explain how busy Mondays are for them. It's a charming combination of laziness and self absorbed "my musical taste is better than everyones because I work at a music store" attitude. Easy Street can go to hell. I'm going to Silver Platter next time.

Not sure what crawled up the last guy's butt but the easy street staff is by no means arrogant. They love music, which is kind of the point in a record store. My request for Kris Kristofferson was not met with attitude and mockery but with genuine help. This is one of the last bastions of independant music outlets. They are all in it for the love of music. The in-store shows reflect their love of music. Come hang out here. You will be treated with respect, you might learn something. And if nothing else, their t-shirts and hoodies and the best in the northwest!

Please go to another more customer focused record store - these people are jerks. They all think they are too cool and won't help you find the selection you are looking for. There are so many other places that aren't posers like Easystreet - save your time and money and go to any other store than this one.

Cons: Rude staff, High Prices, No Customer Service

Just called the Mercer St location to ask if they were a ticketmaster vendor. Instead of getting a curt "I'm too cool to speak to you" type response, from someone whose attitude says "Look at me, I'm wearing an engineer hat because I let my art school [boy|girl]friend cut my hair with kitchen scissors" type response, or even a simple "Sorry, no", the friendly employee I talked to informed me of two places within walking distance of the store that could help me out. Easy Street is no Amoeba, but they're still pretty great.
